A Closer Look at the 2023 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid from Your Hyundai Dealership

Two Trim Levels

Drivers can choose between the Blue and the Limited trim levels. The Blue is the base-trim level, and it has slightly better gas mileage. The Blue averages 53 miles to the gallon in the city and 56 on the highway. The Limited averages 49 miles to the gallon in the city and 52 miles to the gallon on the highway.

The Limited is the higher trim level and it adds quite a few infotainment and safety technology features. For instance, the touchscreen is larger, the Limited comes with wireless charging, and it adds parking assist technology.

Hybrid Performance

Both trims come with a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine with four-wheel drive. This is paired with a six-speed EcoShift dual-clutch transmission. The car produces up to 104 horsepower and 109 lb.-ft of torque. The turbo engine and the electric motor work together for added responsiveness, especially when moving at lower speeds.

The hybrid system does not require any charging. The battery recharges using regenerative braking technology. When the brakes are applied, energy is converted into power and this recharges the battery.

Interior

The Blue trim level comes with dual automatic temperature control, heated front seats, and a six-way adjustable driver seat. This includes height adjustment. The Limited upgrades the seating surfaces to leather trim. The driver’s seat becomes a power-adjustable system with lumbar support and adds ventilated front seats to the mix.

The driver’s seat in the Limited also adds an integrated memory system. This allows multiple drivers to save their own personalized settings.

Infotainment

The Blue trim level comes with an eight-inch color touchscreen display with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It also has a Bluetooth hands-free phone system. The driver can operate the audio and cruise controls using buttons on the steering wheel.

The Limited upgrades the system to a 10.25-inch high-resolution touchscreen. It’s paired with an eight-speaker premium audio system from Bose and includes a subwoofer. There is also wireless charging for your smartphone device.

Advanced Safety Assist Technology

The Blue is loaded with plenty of safety-assistive technology for an improved driving experience. These features include a lane-keeping assist and a lane-following assist feature. There is also a driver attention warning, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, high beam assist, and forward collision-avoidance assist.

This hybrid has so many great features for drivers to learn about. If you’re looking for a fuel-efficient car, you’ll want to give this one a closer look. Visit Coughlin Hyundai of Heath now to see our wide selection of new vehicles.
